[SIZE=14pt]I was just curious how everyone got started with miniatures? I have heard some pretty neat stories...so whats yours?![/SIZE]
Here's my story:
It all began when I came across a couple minis when I went to a tack store with my sister (she was big into show jumping..and was great at it). I was never big into horses...just showing at a couple "bubblegum" shows around our area and taking riding lessons. I wasnt too keen(sp?) on the idea of the BIG horses...and felt alot more comfortable when I met the minis. While my sister was shopping, I went in the paddock and one just walked right up and "cuddled" right up to me! ...I loved these lil guys ever since! And I wanted one ever since! LOL. I then joined the 4-h club there...from that, I moved barns and now am big into showing minis and I am comfortable with knowing how to care for a mini (Including the big horses...
)and also am learning to tell good conformation from the bad.
I finally lived the dream I have had for years..which was to own my own mini, and love him like crazy
